Here is my piece that was published in The Big Issue Australia:
The
other day, my friends and I were trying to decide between two logo designs – both
were identical except that one was Steel Blue and the other was Bubblegum Pink.
I said I liked the blue one. “Every
white male over thirty loves that one,” one friend said. Everyone laughed, but
the comment left me feeling conflicted. I am
male and over thirty, and I guess most people would describe my skin as white –
on a colour chart it would grade somewhere between Blanched Almond and Papaya
Whip – but I’ve never felt white.
